    A very special show with a very beautiful ending

    The Good Place isn't the best comedy show, but it might be the most creative and thought-provoking. It's very special.

    a cure for my grief

    Two moths ago I lost my wife.So many Grief I had ,So many tears. This show told me maybe she is in the good place now. After many years I will find her in the good place. Thank you. All the cast of the show. Thank you! The creator of the show.

    A feel good show with a stronger message underneath

    I love this show. It's a feel good comedy that's lighthearted and will make you laugh while still trying to get some good life lessons across. You also don't need to search to find the deeper meaning in the show, its made blatantly obvious, but its not heavy.

    Kristen Bell is quirky and lovable in this, and the rest of the cast is an odd blend of characters that just mix so well together. The acting and writing is phenomenal and the production is bright and cheerful and pleasant to watch.

    NBC is winning this season with new shows.

    I definitely recommend it.

    Surprised by how much I liked this

    I'm actually surprised by how much I ended up liking The Good Place. I gave it a chance while looking for a comedy to have on in the background while I do other things but ended up glued to my tv binging through all 4 seasons as fast as I could. I've heard nothing but great things about this show for the longest time, read all the great reviews, saw it has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and that it was nominated for a ton of awards, including a bunch of Emmy nominations, but yet I still put off watching it for some reason. I think it's because I enjoy other types of shows over comedy and was always involved watching other shows I just ended up forgetting about this one. My mistake because I ended up loving this one. It has an incredible cast led by the legendary Ted Danson and Kristen Bell. The supporting cast is just as good and wouldn't be nearly as good without them.

    Take it sleazy

    I know true perfection doesn't really exist and that every show has it's flaws, but with The Good Place I just can't think of what they would be.

    The Good Place is a fantastic show that I will forever remember fondly and to anyone reading this I hope you give the show a chance and watch it through.

    Take it sleazy.

    • Trivia
      On January 4, 2019, a video appeared on The Good Place YouTube feed entitled "Janet's Void: What Actually Happens When * BING *". It consists of five hours of Janet standing around in her void, occasionally disappearing. You Tube commentators soon noticed that her disappearances were about 22 minutes long, the length of an episode.
    • Goofs
      The first time Eleanor and Chidi meet, Chidi claims that he is speaking French but the Good Place translates it into a language Eleanor understands. Yet in flashbacks on Earth he is seen speaking and writing in English.

      In Everything Is Fine (2016) he says that he is multilingual. He grew up in Senegal, but also lived in Paris and Sydney.
